Used For:

This combination of lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide is prescribed to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). Lisinopril, an ACE inhibitor, works by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic (water pill) that reduces excess salt and water, helping to lower blood pressure and decrease strain on the heart. Together, they provide a dual approach to controlling blood pressure and reducing risks of heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease.

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include:

• Dizziness, especially when starting treatment
• Cough (associated with lisinopril)
• Increased urination (due to hydrochlorothiazide)
• Headache

Less common but more serious side effects:

• High potassium levels (hyperkalemia) or low potassium levels (hypokalemia)
• Allergic reactions (e.g., swelling of the face or throat)
• Low blood pressure (hypotension)
• Kidney function changes

Precautions:

• Avoid this medication during pregnancy, as it can harm the fetus, especially after the first trimester.
• Use with caution if you have kidney or liver disease, as close monitoring may be required.
• Avoid potassium supplements or potassium-rich salt substitutes unless directed by a doctor, as lisinopril can increase potassium levels.
• Consult your doctor before taking other medications, especially NSAIDs, as they can interact with this combination.
• Be cautious with alcohol, as it may amplify side effects such as dizziness and low blood pressure.
